We are filled with so much joy, our second baby blessing has arrived:

Natalie Rose Whitley

born October 31, 2014 at 11:58pm

8 lbs 3 oz and 20″ long.

Natalie arrived zippy fast via VBAC Friday just before midnight and is the cutest little pumpkin we know. She has a head of thick, dark hair, a tiny chin and is so snuggly sleepy. She’s absolutely perfect — I feel so very blessed to be holding her in my arms, resting at home.

Maxwell isn’t holding back his love for her, either. He’s full of kisses, hugs, curiosity and has even offered her his pacifier. He’s transitioning to his new role very well, although I’m sure some natural struggles will come our way soon.

We are celebrating sweet Natalie’s arrival and like I said, I am filled to the brim with joy. xoxo

    Congratulations, sweet friend!!! My heart is bursting with JOY for you as well!!!! Thankful for His protection over you and baby Natalie and that you were able to enjoy this birth to the fullest! Wishing SO very much I could swing by for some snuggles and time with you, but since distance prevents that (at this time) …. know that I’m sending lots of love and hugs to all of you!!!

    XOXO,
    Jess :)

    Sweet, sweet Natalie Rose. (I’m partial to Rose since it’s our sweet granddaughter’s middle name, too.) Such a precious baby girl, Maggie. And you look fabulous. I’m so glad you were able to experience VBAC with no problems. Praying God’s blessings on your family as you adjust to this new bundle of joy.
